When a manufacturing order is generated, you can directly start the
manufacturing process and Odoo will pick the raw materials from its
warehouse (without waiting any warehouse issue order), then it puts the
manufactured products to its warehouse (also without waiting the
internal transfer from the “production warehouse” to the “manufactured
products warehouse”.
This is not what we want in real life…
Suppose this real scenario, you have a manufacturing company with a warehouse split to these warehouses:

RMWH for the raw material warehouse

ENDPWH for the manufactured products warehouse (End products)

MNFWH for the manufacturing warehouse (real warehouse to control its IN/OUT moves)

Rather than the virtual warehouses such as “the production warehouse”.
The work cycle should be”

The Manufacturing process should wait an internal move to the raw
materials from the “raw materials warehouse” RMWH to the manufacturing
warehouse MNFWH before starting the process.

When all the raw materials available, you can start the manufacturing order.

Once finished, the warehousemen should do an internal move from the
manufacturing warehouse MNFWH to the manufactured products warehouse
ENDPWH.

So, how can we force the manufacturing order to wait stock moves between the company warehouses?
